"Art...acts like ritual rather than doctrine: it cannot define truth, but it nicely ornaments what cannot be known... It encourages the very quest it cannot satisfy. This contradictory belief, that truth can be looked for but cannot be looked at, and that art is the greatest way of giving form to this contradiction, is what moves us so intensely...It is all art can do, and it is everything art can do."
-- James Wood
